Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Power of the Heavenly Wind Empire
"Miss Nangong Ruolan, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's getting more and more beautiful haha......" Chen Que fixed his eyes, it turned out to be the beautiful woman he met in the martial arts tavern more than ten months ago.
"Oh......" Nangong Ruolan originally had a heart on Chu Lifeng's body, but Chen Que didn't notice it at all, and immediately looked for the voice.
"Hey, it's you!Why are you here?" Nangong Ruolan was stunned for a moment, she still remembered Chen Que, after all, he was a bit handsome and had a special style, especially when Chu Muqing was a scoundrel at that moment......
"Oh...... Check it out here. Chen Que smiled, in fact, he was not wrong, the jade mine is not so important to Chen Que now, and he really came to take a look.
"Oh...... Then have your things been ready?" Nangong Ruolan tightened her grip on Chu Lifeng's hand and asked.
"Oh...... It's all done. Chen Que fiddled with his clothes and replied.
"Oh...... Brother Chen! Don't you want to participate in the martial arts competition? This is a rare competition! The heroes of the three empires will all come to participate! With such a grand conference, won't Brother Chen go on stage to perform?" Chu Lifeng looked at Nangong Ruolan who was holding his palm, with an embarrassed expression, and immediately asked Chen Que in confusion.
"Hah...... I'm afraid that if I accidentally hit a group of people, it won't be good! After all, Brother Chen, I am a man with good manners. Chen Que stroked his hair and said a little casually.
"Cut...... A shameless person dares to speak out, this girl can't see it!"
"Who! dare to talk to Uncle Ben like this, you are still the first!" Chen Que swept around, but did not see anyone.
"Huh...... You, who bullied me in the martial arts tavern last time, can't you recognize me this time?" Just when Chen Que was puzzled, a voice came from behind Chen Que.
Chen Que turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with a hot body, hair and shawl, and a beauty who looked seven or eight points similar to Chu Lifeng was supporting her waist and sticking out the tip of her tongue.
"......" Chen Que covered his face and gave a middle finger: "It turned out to be you!"
"Hehe, it's me!How about it, why are you still as old-fashioned as before!" The person who came was Chu Muqing, who had some friction with Chen Que before, and was walking towards Chu Lifeng and the two with a wicked smile on his face at this time.
"You're old-fashioned, your whole family is old-fashioned. When Chen Que heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "Oh...... Brother Chu is not old-fashioned, just you are speechless. ”
"I ......" Chu Muqing just wanted to compete with Chen Que, but was interrupted by Chu Lifeng.
"Chu Muqing, you stop for me, it's like this every day, what kind of body has it become!" Chu Lifeng looked at his sister in front of him, and couldn't help but turn dark.
"Hmph...... Brother, you will know that you will murder me! I won't play with you in the future. Chu Muqing pouted when she heard this, looking unhappy.
Chen Que looked at the two brothers and sisters with a black line on his face, "......"
"Alright...... It's all stopped, my father told me to go to the Tianfeng Inn to discuss important matters, you can be with Ruolan! Save me from caring about you again!" Chu Lifeng was still a little dignified as a brother, and said in an irresistible tone.
"Oh......" Although Chu Muqing said that she was not happy, she also knew that she could not be willful at this time, and followed Nangong Ruolan who was put aside by Chu Lifeng and came together.
"Brother Chen, will you come with me to have a look? My father is very fond of young people who are strong in martial arts, and with Brother Chen's skills, my father will be very happy to meet you if he sees it. Chu Lifeng looked at Chen Que and thought about it, but still opened his mouth.
"Oh...... It just so happens that I want to go to the inn too, so I'm bothered. Chen Que thought about it after hearing this, it doesn't hurt to go and take a look, maybe you can still see her!
"Good...... Let's go together!By the way, Brother Chen, I will explain to you the current situation of the power of the Tianfeng Empire! Presumably Brother Chen also wants to know about it, right?" Chu Lifeng suddenly threw down the two delicate beauties, and walked side by side with Chen Que towards a pavilion that was still in the territory of the Tianfeng Empire not far away.
"Oh...... In that case, I'm listening. "Chen Que is also not very familiar with the forces in the Tianfeng Empire, so it is not bad to listen to some interesting stories at this time.
"The Heavenly Wind Empire is actually not much different from the other three major empires, and there may be some places where the martial arts are even stronger! There are many people who are proficient in martial arts, and there are countless large and small sects, and the most outstanding of them is the royal family, and our three major families, and the nine major sects.
And the most powerful of them is the royal family of the Tianfeng Empire, in addition to being able to levy a large number of martial artists, they are also extremely profound, as far as we know, there are three well-known grandmaster powerhouses, and there are dozens of innate masters, and I heard from other people that I have seen the activities of the great grandmaster-level powerhouses, but I don't know if it is true or not, but this is also very powerful.
And our three major families are much worse, and each family can count only one grandmaster-level figure to support it so as not to be bullied by others.
And the people in the nine factions also have outstanding people who have stepped on the grandmaster level, such as the well-known ink pen senior, the Hanyue Palace Lord Shanggong Youlan, the Blood Sword Alliance leader Blood Immortal, and the barefoot monk of Jinshan Temple, all of which were obtained from the secret information of our Chu family.
And in addition to these seniors who are already grandmaster-level, there are also some who rely on other strange techniques to stand in the martial arts, such as Snow Dragon Villa, we don't know if they have grandmasters, but even if it is their secret weapon, the poison technique is also a must, and the dragon claw skill of the dragon claw faction is also very powerful, the Qinglian sword technique of the Qingcheng faction, the Jiuyang Gong of the Jiuyang Palace, and the eighteen martial arts of the Wumeng ......"
Chu Lifeng may often analyze the strength and weakness of the major forces, and he actually said that the head is the Tao, and after a while, the two of them have already entered the Tianfeng Inn, that's right, it is the Tianfeng Inn.
"Brother, how is it?, do you have a little understanding of the major forces?" Chu Lifeng led the way into the inn and said to Chen Que.
"Ah...... Oh...... Thank you!" Chen Que had actually been scanning around, and when he heard Chu Lifeng's voice, he immediately replied.
"Oh......" Chu Lifeng didn't say anything, the two chatted and farted together, and after a while, they went up to the second floor and came to a room.
"Father, I'm coming. As soon as Chu Lifeng entered the door, he was greeted by a majestic and tall middle-aged man wearing a capable military robe, who looked similar to Chu Lifeng, with sword eyebrows, a clean face, and a faint smile on his face, staring at Chu Lifeng and Chen Que.
"Hmm...... We are going to have a meeting with people from other forces, you can wait and listen! Who is this little brother?" Chu Lifeng's father was actually called Chu Xiong, and he was looking at Chen Que and Chu Lifeng at this time and said.
"Oh...... Father, his name is Chen Que, a friend I met outside, the son of the deceased Marshal Chen Peng of Wuhou City, his martial arts are very strong, even I can't compare. Chu Lifeng pulled his hands and pushed Chen Que out, and immediately pointed at Chen Que and said.
"Chen Que has seen Uncle!" Chen Que was pushed out and smiled bitterly, but had to politely greet Chu Xiong.
"Okay!good!!!! I am very happy that you have grown up and have your own friends, as for Chen Que's little brother, I Chu Xiong and the Chu family also welcome you to be a guest, so young, but even I can't see through the internal strength, when you are a talented martial arts wizard. Chu Xiong can be the head of the family, his vision is still very unique, looking at Chen Que's expression that is not nervous at all in the face of himself, and then seeing the skills that even he can't see through, he suddenly smiled.
"Uncle's praise, I'm not that good, ha...... Haha......" Chen Que waved his hand and smiled a little awkwardly.
"Alright...... Kid Chen Que, do you want to come with us to see the grand gathering of the Heavenly Wind Empire, the three major families and the nine major sects will all participate. "Chu Xiong is also more enthusiastic, a little person who has just met can also be treated like this, the Chu family's generation can maintain its glory, and now it seems that Chu Xiong is indispensable to run the family.
"Good...... It just so happens that I want to see it, so let's go with my uncle. Chen Que did not hesitate and nodded.
"Hahaha...... Dare enough, let's go. In addition to really inviting Chen Que to go with him, Chu Xiong actually had the courage to take a look at Chen Que, but when he saw it, he immediately opened the door with a big laugh and walked towards the place where the major forces were discussing............
However, after a while, Chen Que and the three of them went up to the third floor alone, and Chu Xiong didn't bring anyone else, just the three of them went up to the third floor.
"Haha...... Ladies and gentlemen, I, Chuxiong, have arrived, so I have kept you waiting for a long time. "Chu Xiong has not yet reached the third floor, he has already secretly used internal force to transmit the voice to the third floor, and with Chu Lifeng, Chen Que has gone up to the third floor.
"Hmph...... The three major families are your Chu family's ability to procrastinate, everyone has almost arrived, you just came, the strength is not strong enough, and there is still a lot of procrastination!"
"Huh...... Who should I be! It turned out to be a three-legged cat emperor flying bear, but it's been a long time but my fists and feet are itchy! My sword can't hold it anymore. Chu Xiong didn't give in, and scolded back when he found his voice.
Chen Que, who was standing behind Chu Xiong, looked at the voice, and saw only a middle-aged man wearing a big yellow hanger, with a very tall body, a fat head and big ears, like a hill, and a bald man, who was the sarcastic voice of this man just now.
"Ah...... Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you! Our Huangfu family is not afraid of your Chu family!" Huangfu Feixiong didn't look as steady as his appearance, and his momentum suddenly rose, shattering most of the dishes next to him.
"Hmph...... In the lobby, please pay attention to the fact that today is a place for discussion, not a place for personal grievances to be settled. Just when the two were suppressing each other's breath, a voice of conversation sounded in the lobby, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and suddenly a group of three, a white-haired old man wearing a cyan brocade robe appeared in the eyes of a group of people, and suddenly a group of people, the nine factions, and Huangfu Feixiong, Chu Xiong all stopped their movements and looked at the three people.
"The three predecessors of heaven, earth and man?"
"Oh...... Could it be that the three long-established old-timers of the royal family?"
"That's right! I've seen them shoot before, the three of them are like one, the formation of heaven, earth and man, it's very terrifying!"
"Well, I've heard that in the past, the three of them had defeated a great grandmaster-level master with the position of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. ”
"Shhh...... Is this true? That royal family is so terrible that they actually hide such three masters!"
"Huh...... This is only part of it, do you think the royal family is really that weak? The three major families are also only one grandmaster?"
"Teachable ......"
There are a lot of discussions among the people in the sect who are still good, after all, the characters who can defeat the great grandmaster, some people will never be able to touch it in their lifetime.
"Hmph...... I'll do it again with you next time, and this time it's your luck. Chu Xiong was also able to seize the time to scold, and at this time, the first sentence forced Huangfu Feixiong to the point that he could only pick up saliva.
"You wait! Huangfu Feixiong was also forced to let go of a cruel word, and sat back in a sullen position.
But Chen Que followed Chu Xiong, who had a leisurely and complacent face, chatting with Chu Lifeng, and walked over to the position that had been prepared for the Chu family a long time ago, and sat down......
I don't know, Chen Que has been learning about the Chu family and the Huangfu family with Chu Lifeng, it turns out that the two families have had friction a long time ago, and they are both feuds left over from the previous ancestors' grabbing of territory and the Tianfeng Empire, so the two families will be sarcastic when they see each other, or they will lose momentum and attract criticism, thinking that the one who has been sarcastic and does not fight back has declined......
"Haha...... Our Oriental family is here, I don't know what we missed, why is it a mess?" Just as the group had just settled down, a thick voice came from the staircase to every corner of the third floor, and after a while, a tall middle-aged man wearing a loose robe walked up the stairs with a woman and two men.
"Haha...... Dongfang is drunk, are you drunk and overslept again! This is just here, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Chu Xiong saw the people from the Dongfang family who came over, and immediately laughed out loud and said hello.
"Hmm...... The head of the Chu family, the head of the Huangfu family, everyone of the nine factions, the Dongfang family has arrived, let everyone wait for a long time. Dongfang Dudrunk didn't show much enthusiasm, nodded to the crowd, and led the crowd to their seats.
A group of people have already sat on their own tables, the royal family sits independently at the top, the three major families sit in a row of flat rows of tables, and the nine major factions sit in the back, that is, in two rows, and then those people from the small sects have a chair to listen, they can come if they want to listen, and they don't listen or force it, but such a grand event, except for some isolated sects, will basically participate.
"Ahem...... Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today, and we must all know what we are doing!" Just as everyone had already quieted down, a voice came from the table in the royal family, and everyone looked and saw a man in a python robe standing up.
Chen Que squinted, this python-robed man was the second prince Situ Tian before, and there was a familiar figure sitting next to him, it was Situ Ruolan, who was pondering something at the bottom at this time. But Chen Que didn't pay much attention to it, what should he do, anyway, he didn't have anything to do.
"Hmm...... That's right, there are two of them for the purpose of our visit, one is that the three-year martial arts competition of the three empires has begun, and the other is that we have a common purpose, and only by working together can we find a piece of meat to eat in the three empires.
So now we have to pick out ten capable people to duel, so next, everyone recommends them, and finally have a fight, and then it can be decided. Situ Tian was also funny, he didn't take any detours, and sat down directly after finishing the theme this time.
"We all already know that each of us sends someone under the age of 30 to fight, and whoever is stronger will be on it. Many of the nine factions were silent, and only the person in charge of the Qingcheng faction, who thought highly of himself, stood up and shouted.
"Hmm...... That's it, why do you need so many things, things that can be solved in one sentence, not two sentences. The Blood Knife Alliance's Blood Shadow is also a relatively cheerful person, and he also stood up in support.
“............”
Chen Que didn't listen to it, he opened the wine in his seat alone, held a goblet, shook the wine glass, drank the wine, and watched the play silently, his eyes from time to time towards the slender figure with a light veil in the Cold Moon Palace, which had been silent.
And the figure also seemed to feel Chen Que's gaze, and immediately looked towards Chen Que, and suddenly the eyes of the two of them looked together.
Chen Que didn't feel anything, he just looked at it if he wanted to, he didn't know how much he had done like this before, but Shanggong Ning Xue didn't have such a calm heart as Chen Que, and after looking at each other for a while, he looked away.
And this scene was seen by a handsome man in the Jiuyang Palace in the Nine Sects, wearing a white robe, and suddenly a fierce gaze flashed in the man's eyes.
Jiuyang Palace, in fact, was a sect with the Cold Moon Palace a long time ago, but later it was split due to some things, and the Zhen Sect Exercise "Cold Sun Treasure Book" was divided into two halves, half formed the current Cold Moon Palace, and half formed the current Jiuyang Palace, and the two sects were not far away, so the people of the Jiuyang Palace were often able to contact the people of the Cold Moon Palace.
And the new generation of senior brother of Jiuyang Palace is that man named Yang Wei, Yang Wei had already regarded Shanggong Ning Xue as his own woman when he first saw Shanggong Ning Xue, but all this is just his unrequited love, because Jiuyang Palace and Cold Moon Palace have been like fire and water a long time ago, no one can repair the rift between these two factions, and Yang Wei can't!
However, this can't stop a Yang Wei who has a crush on Shanggong Ning Xue, when Shanggong Ning Xue didn't pay too much attention to others before, he still felt that he had a chance, but Chen Que and Shanggong Ning Xue's eyes were seen by him, and he felt threatened, and when he looked at the ten places, he had an idea in his heart.
"Hmph...... It doesn't matter who you are, you dare to look at the woman who is right with me like this, you are dead. Yang Wei calmed down, looked at Chen Que who was leisurely, and snorted coldly.
Chen Que didn't know that his gaze with Shanggong Ningxue would have such a wave, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. is still drinking wine on his own stage, looking at the forces that are pulling the skin.
"Everyone, because of the recommendation just now, we have prepared candidates, waiting for ten people to be decided, and we can compete with the other three empires for that thing in the afternoon, now who will come first?" Situ Tian had already finished recommending candidates with the other forces, and immediately stood up and said.
Situ Tian's words fell, and the audience was quiet, and the needles could be heard.
"I, Huangfu Yu, beg all the young heroes to make a move!" After a moment of silence, a young man in a yellow brocade robe from the Huangfu family among the three major families stood up, walked towards the vacant place in the field, and stood on the stage.
